What this does

This document describes Lunar Lander's binary batch send endpoints, including streaming semantics and response behavior. The endpoint supports the following low latency transaction sending strategy:

You send a binary body containing length-prefixed transactions
The server starts parsing/sending transactions as bytes arrive (no need to wait for full body!)
Response returns a summary (attempted, accepted, rejected, parse_error) instead of per-tx signatures

Endpoints

POST /sendBatch

All batch endpoints require Content-Type: application/octet-stream.

Wire Format

The request body is a sequence of length-prefixed transactions:

frame = u16_be_length + raw_tx_bytes
u16_be_length is a 2-byte unsigned integer in big-endian order
raw_tx_bytes is the serialized Solana transaction payload

Example with three transactions:

[len1_be][tx1][len2_be][tx2][len3_be][tx3]

Streaming Semantics

Batch bodies are decoded incrementally from the HTTP body stream:

Each complete frame is parsed as soon as its bytes arrive
Each parsed transaction is processed immediately (no wait for full body)
Valid transactions before and after a rejected transaction are still attempted

Validation And Limits

Maximum transactions per request: 16
Minimum transaction payload size: 66 bytes
Maximum transaction payload size: 1232 bytes

If framing breaks (for example, truncated length prefix/payload), already parsed prefix transactions are still attempted.

Response Contract

Response is always JSON:

{
  "attempted": 3,
  "accepted": 2,
  "rejected": 1,
  "parse_error": null
}

Fields:

attempted: number of parsed transactions that were processed
accepted: number of transactions accepted by ingress validation (includes deduped signatures)
rejected: number of parsed transactions rejected by validation
parse_error: framing/stream-level error object, or null

parse_error shape:

{
  "kind": "incomplete_payload",
  "at_tx_index": 3,
  "message": "incomplete transaction payload"
}

Notes:

at_tx_index is 1-based
for framing failures, at_tx_index points to the next frame being parsed

Status codes:

200 OK when rejected == 0 and parse_error == null
400 Bad Request when any parsed transaction is rejected or parse_error is present
